The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1887-02-09

went to the window-that first and last ref
uge of the troubled mind-and gazed out.
Turning her eyes in the direction Of her
mornings walk, she started back with sense
Of being dazzled. She rubbed first her eyes
and then the rain-dimmed pane. 1t was no
illusion! The whole landscape, 10 familiar to
her, was one vast field Of dead, colorles
white! Trees, rocks, even distance itself, had
vanished in those few hours. An even,
shadowless, motionless white sea filed the
horizon. On either side vast wall Of snow
seemed to shut out the world like a shroud.
Only the green plateau before her, with It's
sloping meadows and fringes Of pines and
cottonwood. lay alone like summer island
in this frozen sea.
A sudden desire to view this phenomenon
more closely, and to learn for herself the
limits of this new tethered life, completely
possessed her, and, accustomed to act upon
her independent impulses, she seized hooded
waterproof cloak and slipped outof the house
unperceived. The rain was falling steadily
along the descending trail where she walked,
but beyond, scarcely mile across the chasm,
the wintry distance began to confuse her
